I have internet from Centurylink from my HOA and cable from Comcast. do I need this adapter for a Tivo Roamio plus or the basic Roamio?

you don't actually need it for your cablework with either Roamio. I strongly suggrst that you call Tiiiivo and ma ke sure the Roamio works with your cable system and then talk to them about using the actiontec MOCA. some cable and satellite systems wont work with Roamio.

TIVO Mini you do have to pay a monthly or charge, or you can pay a one time charge which is called a LIFETIME!! Not sure, but I don't think there is a charge for the Roamio.

Definitely. We bought it when we had Comcast. We now have Centurylink and it works just as well.

i have the tivo roamio with ota antenna support and tivo mini. all 4 tuners can be used to record on the roamio. The mini dynamically takes away one tuner when using it.

To clarify due to the new TiVo Roamio models, the basic Roamio (4 tuner that works with antenna as well as cable) doesn't include the streaming in that unit itself and so you can use this product with it, as well as all the TiVo Premiere devices. The 2 other Roamio versions (the 6 tuner and larger HDD versions that are for cable only), have streaming built-in already so you would not need this product to use with those ones.

Neither. The mini uses MoCA, which the Roamio has built-in (has to be enabled). Both devices connect to the same cable feed, the mini gets Internet service from the Roamio's built-in MoCA gateway. I have an XL4 which also has the gateway built-in, mini works like a charm. I just need to get cable run into my home office so I can put the mini there.

I just got a 199 offer on my roamio hd or 9.99 per month. keep in mind the lifetime is not transferrable; once your TiVo dies, it would cost you 149 to get a refurbed replacement.

Look for a moca adapter. Also you may need a moca filter at the point of entry to the house on the cable line. If you have a TiVo xl4 or romaio box, you will only need one moca adapter at the cable modem. This will run the signal through coax to the mini or you can run the signal through Ethernet. I heard some were able go get it to run with a power line Ethernet as long as the primary TiVo is connected via Ethernet or moca. Its not hard just needs a little research.

The guide info comes from Tivo, not from Comcast. But yes, you will get that--Tivo goes about 2 weeks into the future if you hook up an internet connection (or wifi), and about 72 hours if you use the phone-line connection. BTW, you will need one or the other.

I used a TiVo Wireless G adapter at the TiVo to connect to my home WiFi signal provided by a Linksys EA4500 router. Worked OK on a Series 2 and on a Premiere. Also worked OK on a D-Link router WiFi signal. Both 2 rooms apart.

I hooked it to my premier and it appears to work better than the TIVO USB G adapter I had before but it doesn't appear to be able to connect to the 5GHz band on my router. Only connects to the 2.4GHz band with all the other devices.

The Tivo TCDA94000stream is a device that streams your recorded shows over your home computer network, this allows you to download your shows to your computers and Apple IOS devices. The Roamio that you already have has this built into it. You don't need this device if you own a Roamio. Read your manual for instructions on how to use streaming with your Roamio.

I'll be honest --- I have tried the Wireless G and Wireless N Adapters and have concluded that neither works perfect. The Wireless G works better than the N --- but, if your TiVo is "too far" away from your router, neither works that good. I no longer use the Wireless N Adapter at all -- it was terrible -- I am using a Dual Band Network Repeater, but even with that device I still have connection problems when trying to watch a program on another DVR. If I had the option, I would run CAT-5 wire to every location and hard wire my TiVos. The Wireless N Adapter that is in use and works well is closer to the Router but is not in direct line of sight --- so my conclusion is the problem is distance and possibly "interference" with other devices.

You need a cable card to interface to your provider. Cable card lets your Tivo look like a STbox to the provider. I have Verizon FIOS cable card is an M-Card and is $4.99 + tax monthly.

No, you cannot. To use this, you first need cable/Fios/Uverse service. You also need to "rent" a cablecard from your cable provider. You then need to purchase this unit. Then you need to either purchase a lifetime (for this specific unit - not your life) service contract or you will pay monthly service fees (either of those are to Tivo). You will only avoid paying monthly DVR rental/lease fees to your cable provider.

Yes, my cable provider is Comcast and they come into the house on regular TV cable that hooks directly to the back of the TiVo, along with ethernet, and outputs to the monitor. You can call TiVo directly or chat with them online if you have a different provider. They have excellent support staff.

I have Century Link DSL, but just the "standard", not the VDSL. Works fine, one of the few that really are just plug and play.
